Not able to Play Minecraft Realms due to Microsoft Account settings message. `

Also dealing with same issue, checked every privacy setting available. Would really love some help.

Hi, I hope you're doing great out there. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regard to your concern.

Kindly refresh your settings by signing in to htps://account.xbox.com/settings and then "block" the settings that are on this list, after that "allow" or set it to "everyone" again.

* You can see and upload community creations

* You can communicate outside of Xbox Live with voice & text

* Others can communicate with voice, text, or invites

* You can play with people outside of Xbox Live

* You can create and join clubs

* You can join multiplayer games

Make sure to hit “submit” when you made any changes.

Confirm that your Xbox Live Gold subscription is active as well. Here you go:

Press the Xbox button on your controller to open the guide, and then select System > Settings > Account > Subscriptions.

Hi DM,

Thanks for the reply. We understand this is on a switch, you still log in with Microsoft account. And with realms, the cross play needs to be enabled due to realms accesses all platforms Minecraft is played on.

Thanks,

Brad

Hi Alex,

Thanks for reaching out to us in the forums for this issue with Minecraft Realms on the Nintendo Switch. Based on the message you received, it may be possible that your account doesn't have the correct permissions to access online multiplayer across different
devices.

Is your account a child or adult account? Players under 13 years old will have online multiplayer disabled by default with Minecraft and
won’t be able to join Realms or servers unless a parent changes their account settings.
For help with changing these account settings, you will need to change your
Privacy and Online settings of the Xbox Live account.

I hope that this information helps out!

Thank you so much for your swift response. Unfortunately, it doesn't work. I've Set all the settings to "Friends" except for Video calling. I have restarted the device and still Minecraft says "Due to the setting in your Microsoft account you cannot play Realms..." (translated from German).
I do not see any setting on that page or in any of the adjacent named "Multiplayer". On the help page (https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us...ealms-Multiplayer-Access-for-a-Child-Account) it says:

"If a member of your family group wants to play multiplayer features in Minecraft, such as Minecraft Dungeons and Minecraft Realms, an organizer can adjust these settings by using the Xbox Family Settings app."

This app is available on Playstore, but not for my Samsung tablet.
